This marks the end of the transport and installation phase of Ørsted’s project scope and leaves both offshore substations ready for the upcoming offshore commissioning phase before the first power of the wind farm in 2022.
“After nearly 2,000 days of hard work (from investigation in 2016), we have successfully installed the first-ever offshore substation topsides for the Greater Changhua 1 & 2a Offshore Wind Farms, Taiwan’s first large scale and far-shore wind farms. Together with our contractors – manufactured by Keppel and installed by Heerema – the teams demonstrated perseverance and overcame numerous challenges including lock-downs in Singapore during COVID-19. “
Located 35-60 km off the coast of Changhua County, the first large-scale and far-shore offshore wind farms in Taiwan is scheduled to be finalised by 2022 and will provide clean energy to one million households.
